Hi Etodd31856!
Ball are an interesting watch and there have been a few posts here in the past regarding them. I can't say this one does much for me personally however, sight unseen. Might look better close up and personal. If you like, then it’s your decision that matters. From my perspective, the main problem with this one is there is a bit of confusion with the arrow/spade hour hand, railway clocks aside. Does not suit the image of the watch IMHO. Markers are very deep and rounded, which always looks a little cheap to me. Just my opinion though.
Ball are a rugged pioneering watch company, or so that is the feeling I get. I also get the feeling you need a small striped cloth cap on your head and a ball peen hammer in your belt to appreciate them. Obviously not the case, but I can’t get that image out of my head.
Thats my problem.That aside, as soon as I saw this one, I could not stop thinking about a Citizen Eco Drive World Timer I noticed a few years back. Therefore, are watches of this type derivative of a long line of WT watches or can’t the comparisons be helped? I’m not sure.
